frequently asked questions

Do Tusq hoodies and tees shrink in the wash?

We use high-quality, pre-shrunk cotton blends and heavyweight fabrics specifically to combat the "tall man's curse" of clothes becoming too short after one wash. Our basics are built to maintain their vertical length and structure over time.

What is a "Box-Fit" tee and how does it fit a big and tall frame?

Our Box-Fit tees provide a modern, oversized silhouette that offers extra room in the chest and sleeves without looking sloppy. For tall men, this means a shirt that drapes naturally over the torso rather than clinging to it, providing a clean, streetwear-inspired look.

Are Tusq hats adjustable for larger head sizes?

Yes. We know that standard "one size fits all" hats often sit too high on men with larger frames. Our hats are designed with a deeper crown and adjustable closures to ensure a comfortable, proportional fit for Big & Tall men.

Customer Testimonials

Hear from people who've set their foundation with Tusq, and are owning every room they walk into.

Shirts have a great fit and define the chest well. Definitely recommend.

Kenneth Caprist Kelly

Comfortable, tight where it should be, really soft on the inside, rigid on the outside. Did not expect overnight shipping. Definitely way higher quality and cheaper than most of the amazon brands.

Casey

Soft, great compression and worth the money! Definitely getting another one ASAP!

Shahnaaz

Love the comfort of the material and ease of wearing it

Derrick Brown

My husband was diagnosed with prostrate cancer May ‘23. As part of his treatment, he took hormone pills. Side effects were enlarged breasts etc. The Tusq compression shirt fits snuggly, but not too tight, so he can wear his clothes comfortably. Thank you for making a quality product!

Lisa Yingling

I Love the fit of the shirts. Not too thick. Gives me the look I want when I wear a Polo shirt or designer t-shirt. Definitely ready to order more but I'll let my wife order, since it's so close to Father's Day. 😜

Phil Stokes

Yes, I’ll refer a friend. Nice material, and I love the way it goes all the way up under your arms. 👍🏾🤎
